Mathematics

LUCKY_DIMON [66]2 years ago
4 0
Let x is the first no. then the other no. will obviously be (x+1)

according to question,
(x+1)²- x²= 15
x² +2x+1 - x² = 15 ( using (a+b)²= a²+ b² + 2ab )
2x + 1 = 15
2x = 14
x = 7

hence numbers are x = 7 and x +1 = 7+1 = 8
also 8²-7² = 64-49 = 15

hence the numbers are 7 and 8

hope it helped

Find the coordinates of the circumcenter for triangle DEF with coordinates D(1,3) E(8,3) and F(1,-5) show your work
nikklg [1K]

One leg is horizontal, on the line y=3. Another leg is vertical, on the line x=1. The point where these intersect, D(1, 3) is the vertex of a right angle. Any right triangle inscribed in a circle has its hypotenuse as the diameter of the circle.

Since the triangle is a right triangle, the circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse: ((8, 3) + (1, -5))/2 = (4.5, -1).

What is the largest digit N for which 2345N is divisible by 6?
kotegsom [21]
Consider this option (this is not the only way):
1. according to the condition 2345N is divisible by <em>6</em>, it means, that N is even number (0;2;4;6 or 8).
2. <em>6</em>=3*2, then the number 2345N is divisible by 3 also. It means, that the number (2+3+4+5+N)=(14+N) is divisible by 3, where N={0|2|4|6|8}.
3. using items 1 and 2:
(14+4)=18; only 18 is divided by 3, it means that N=4.

answer: 4.

Note also, that only 23451; 23454 and 23457 are divided by 3. Only 2345<u>4</u> is divided by 6 (2345<u>4</u>/6=3909).

A truck's gas tank holds 50 gallons of gas. if one gallon takes 30 seconds to pump, how many minutes will it take to fill the em
umka2103 [35]
To find how long it will take to fill the tank, you can use the idea that every 30 seconds will get you one gallon closer to being full.

This means to fill 50 gallons, you will need 50 groups of 30 seconds.  

50 x 30 = 1500 seconds

1500/60 = 25 minutes.

It will take 25 minutes.  

You could also think of it as filling 2 gallons every minute.  It would take 25 of these.
